I just have trouble with this short term long term argument because I’m not sure what long term consequence could be worse than Iran having a bomb. I get that you’re reflexively against war and violence, but Iran is now effectively kneecapped and they were unable to provide a strong response even against Israel. I think you overestimate them even still even when they have been exposed

How did we get here? Because after 2 hard years of efforts, 5 nations working on it, the UN endorsement, the JCPOA agreement was devised that was working well, Iran was being monitored and complying.Then simply because of his own ego (to cancel anything Obama worked on) and from Netanyahu's insistence against the deal (as it took away his enemy foil excuse), Trump ripped up the JCPOA. He has no patience for the hard work at actually getting a deal...he thinks an agreement at gunpoint is a deal...again short term thinking...building alliances, diplomacy with carrot and stick are the ways to solve complex problems not bullying tactics so the world turns against you! Israel was once a beacon of democracy in the Middle East, now the world is turning against them due to their depravity. My god man, learn some history and stop being a sheep led by two ego-led crazies trying to distract from their own failings!

When was "Israel a beacon of democracy in the Middle East"?
